I wasn't addressing that part of the discussion, but your quite specific comment that was, "The current concept of privacy as a Constitutional right was cobbled up by the Supremes to justify the Roe-v-Wade thing." This is not at all true. Not even close. By the way, have you bothered to read that decision? Jon P.S. I'm particularly interested in the period shortly before the formation of the US. I have one set of only 7000 volume sets printed by the US on the subject (3 volumes initially, two more shortly afterwards.) It was produced by order of a Senate resolution on January 24th, 1901, with the House concurring on February 9th, 1901. The volumes are titled, "Documentary History of the Constitution of the United States of America." In the first volume alone, it provides the proceedings of the Annapolis Convention; the proceedings of the Continental Congress; the credentials of the delegates to the Federal Convention; the proceedings of the Federal Convention (including detailed, daily records of the voting history for each colony/state) and much more. I read these, page by page, when I have the time. I am also personally reproducing a two-volume, five-book set by George Bancroft on the web. It is copyrighted in 1882 and called "History of the Formation of the Constitution of the United States of America." It's referenced in some US Supreme Court decisions. The author personally visited and thoroughly read through many of the letters exchanged by the principles at the time and it's an excellent reference. I've learned a few things that go against some of the presumptions taught in typical history classes, reading through it.
